RIYADH: An Ethiopian has been arrested for stabbing to death a fellow national after traveling all the way from his home country explicitly to murder him in an act of revenge, police have said.

“Officers were called to a site in the Manfouha District of the capital where they found a man with fatal stab wounds lying in a pool of blood,” said Riyadh Police spokesman Nasser Al-Qahtani.

“They were told that a group of persons had been involved in a fight, with some of them receiving injuries.”

Investigators soon identified and located the suspected culprit, he said. He was arrested along with a number of other individuals involved in the fight and eight women found to be living in the Kingdom illegal
